Doodled Page Borders *Freebie* {CU}

Doodled Borders

I whipped up a set of 6 doodled page borders for anyone who likes the “handmade” look! Thank you to ‘Laser’ for the idea!

They are all .png files so will work in most programs. They are 12×12, 300dpi, CU and S4H/S4O friendly and just plain fun!

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD DOODLED PAGE BORDERS

If you create any layouts using the borders, or any kits, I would love to include them here! I’ll include a link to your kit if you would like me to.

Enjoy!

Resistance is Futile!

Resistance is Futile! That pretty much sums up me getting an iPhone! It was inevitable and I basically caved in a few weeks ago!

Here is the layout I did for my jump into the world of the iPhone!

Stay tuned for app reviews specifically geared towards scrapbookers!

My Art

I love my art. There are no two ways about it – I love it! And when I say “My Art” I’m not talking about the things I personally paint – don’t think I would actually consider that art… yet! But I’m talking about the art I have chosen to hang on my walls – one in my hallway as you walk in the front door and one in the living room above my couch. The colours of the paintings work, the design is just me, and they are HUGE!

I had an idea of what I wanted (while I left my walls bare for a year!). I had originally decided to do it myself, but just never got around to it. My dad went to China (I live in Hong Kong) and while he was there he saw a few paintings that he liked and thought one of us kids would like for our homes. When he got back to HK I didn’t think anything he had chosen would be close to what I had in mind – but unbelievably they were EXACTLY what I wanted! Colours, style, size – everything!

Now I know they are not everyone’s taste, but they are just perfect for me and I can’t get over how perfect they are and how my dad bought them for me sight unseen.

So, as every scrapbooker does (or should do =) – we scrapbook the things we love – and I love my art! So here’s my layout on my living room painting. Love it! (did I mention that yet *lol*).

Excruciating!

My bf got his driving license last year (not uncommon to get your driving license in your late 20s/30s in Hong Kong), but only bought a car a few weeks ago. He is now driving a lot more, and expecting me to drive with him! Oh for the love of money is it excruciating! He thinks he’s a wonderful driver and I think he’s risking lives by being on the rode! You can image how stress-free driving with him can be!

Last week he asked why I hadn’t done any layouts of his new car (obviously I have my priorities in all the wrong places!) =) So, I said I would and thus was born the “Driving with Chi is… excruciating!” – not exactly the layout he had been hoping for *lol*.

The photo was taken on the way to Disneyland over one of the bridges we have in Hong Kong. I’m in the backseat and a friend is in the front seat. I’m so lucky to live 20 minutes away from Disneyland as I’m taking a few photography classes and it’s the perfect place for getting all different kinds of photos! I’ll try to post some soon.

And here is the layout!

Tiger Layouts

I truly love white tigers and loved having the opportunity to photograph them in Singapore last month. I will have to post some more of my photos, but here are two layouts I made. I love the first one, but don’t like the second one as much.

Doodled Numbers and Lists {CU} {S4O} – Freeebie

I am in a fantastic class over at Big Picture Scrapbooking called Everyday Adventures with Tami M. Loving it!

I’ve decided to do this class digitally and my first assignment was to make a list of 10 things “Right Where You Are”… and I was “At My Desk” – thus was born a layout about my desk. Now, I wanted a funky way to do the list, do I doodled some numbers to make my list. You know where this is going, right?

I have a freebie! It’s a set of doodled numbers AND a set of lists. They all come as .png files and .abr brush files for Photoshop/Photoshop Elements users. The lists come as numbers only, numbers and short lines and numbers and long lines. To spice things up, there’s a regular set of lists AND a grunge set of lists. Ok, so you get the idea! Hope you’re still with me *lol*.

Everything is the usual 300dpi, large brush files etc. and I’ve decided to make it CU friendly! I’ve been playing around and think I may just have to make a freebie of the numbers with funky patterned paper filling them! We’ll see.

Anyway, I’d love a comment, but no worries if not. If you have any feedback, please let me know – I’m just getting my feet wet with designing now that I have more time and would love to know what works, what doesn’t, and if you have any suggestions!

EDITED: Just realized that I did this set at 300 pixels/cm – it should be 300 pixels/inch. I’ve resized them so what you’re getting is the normal 300 pixels/inch; however, if you would like the super high quality version (300 pixels/cm), you can grab them by CLICKING HERE! If you would like the regular quality ones (recommended), click the link above or click on the preview.

Enjoy!

P.S. I’ve just started to Twitter and would love more followers! I’ll announce new blog freebies via Twitter so you can keep up to date with them without having to come here to check. Oh, and it’s FUN! CLICK HERE TO FOLLOW ME! (or click the super cute twitter guy on the right).

Did I mention you can now also TWEET this post – I finally figured out how to add tweet thingys at the top of each post! I hope I’ve done it correctly =) I think you can also click the button at the bottom of the post. Hmm…. this could get confusing!

Anyway, off to sleep. It’s 12:34am and I have to be up early for work tomorrow. Nite e’one!

P.S. I’ve just posted a few extra doodled lists HERE! There’s a quick preview below. Enjoy!
